About The Big Break
Marty is a shipping clerk in the garment district and a wise guy trying to cut corners and get by on angles, and not very good at it. He meets Helen and decides to change his ways, but lack of patience in slow-progress jobs leads him to become involved with a neighborhood gang.
Directed by Joseph Strick, The Big Break leans on a strong ensemble — James Lipton, Gaby Rodgers, Ellie Pine — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1953.
